tuck's music journal

I write about local music stuff in West Virginia and nearby Ohio. I post lots of information about the Greens and musical benefit events I organize for my non profit organization. Americana music focused.

greens put on a great show last night

The Greens were in fine form last night at the front row in Parkersburg. The crowd was slow to gather, and not the largest there's been, but the Greens gave everybody their money's worth. A good cross section of songs from the different eras of Greens music; a crowd pleasing mix of a few more covers than sometimes they play. "Feel like Making Love" ??????? Oh well, somebody asked for it! Pink Floyd got in there again, after a reprieve; sublime; shakedown street.
I got to hear thunderwear, drag yourself through the day, (what I call) Starving Artist (catherine zeta jones, etc.) and most of the stellar popular ones. Good long sets; not a lot of dancing among the audience; andy referenced the dancers might be at the allgood festival....... Andy told a few good stories, and worked some good intro's to the songs; changed some lyrics - like seeing the Matrix movie up on one of the tv screens, and sticking that reference into a song.
On to the wheel house tonight- wonder if there will be a different crowd, or will folks move along from one venue to another. We hope the fellas can sustain the energy!
